Join my subscription course!😊 www.speakjapanesenaturally.com/ You'll learn about Japanese phonetics, such as pronunciation, rhythm, pitch accent, intonation and so on. Those knowledge will help you sound natural when speaking Japanese.

The part about certain things sounding more feminine or masculine reminds me of a friend who went to live in Japan and although he could speak some basic Japanese, he got better at it from living in there. It wasn't until one of his male co-workers told him that his Japanese sounded very feminine that he realized it was because most of his friends and social circle were women so that's how he got used to talking.

Fantastic video! I love these videos where you explain how Japanese sentences work, like the meaning of certain particles and expressions, and also how you give examples on how to use them. I would appreciate future videos like this! You're a great teacher! 👍😃

I think of casual か as "huh..." sometimes: "So it's already that time, huh..." "So that's what you wanted, huh..." (both with falling intonation just like in japanese, and commonly used as a self rhetorical question)

Thanks, this helped a lot! Yesterday my friend told me I sounded too feminine because I was using でしょ a lot, so she said I should use だろう. Will you make a video about that?

I learned about the very feminine わ a few weeks ago after hearing it in one of the songs that I think I've mentioned in the past (Tricot - サマーナイトタウン ). The text 「おかしな夢だわ」. I think it's so important to learn about feminine and masculine ending particles for everybody, even if we would not use it. Because it is good to understand when hearing or reading something (like in the song). Edit: (I wrote 「また同じ夢わ」 first, and that was wrong, it was を at the end 😅 ).

this is such a good video. Thank you!!!

Very helpful, I love it.

Thank you for this lesson, I like it. 😀

とても便利ですありがとうございました。

excelente!!

It was interesting to learn about the other usage of わ, other than the feminine tone

Another helpful video! Let me lazily say that your lessons show how similar languages (those I know) are. Common thought patterns produce common language patterns, throughout humanity!

Thank you for this video! Some of these i didnt know i knew until i watched (like 行くか) and some i didnt know at all (feminine わ)

I heard males use なの or わ. (Examples: Nagisa by Imase, Shinunoga ii wa, Ghostwire Tokyo probably) What would it mean if males used it?

Thank you a loooot

Sensei the explanation is great, easy to understand and qlear. more or less i can understand most of it but only one thing make me wondering, are feminine intonation really crucial in conversation when i use "no" ending particle ? i mean, if a man accidently speak feminine intonation, is it okay or make the person who said it in wrong way sound like a "okama"?

thanks a lot せんせい i am very confused before watching this video. now i am ready to know things or conversation nearby me 😅 thank you

thank you sensei for your lesson i try my best to learn japanese i still learn hiragana but i can't remember some word hope you can make more video

こんにちは、ふみ先生！ It is interesting to see that the particle ね「ne」is exactly the same as the Portuguese "né". It is pronounced in the same way, comes at the end of a sentence, and has the same function. In Portuguese, "né" is a contraction of "não é" = right?, isn't so?, isn't that so?, isn't it? 🙂

あ、おもしろいですよね

What is the meaning of なのに or のに at the end of japanese sentence? Is it gender neutral or for females only?

先生、ありがとうございました。「わ」の説明、とっても為になりました。男性も使う「わ」に関する説明をずっと探していて、全然見つからなくて、とっても困っていました。もし、この説明が載っている参考書を先生がご存知であれば、ぜひ教えていただきたいです。お願いします！ あ、一つだけ。「何を飲みたい？」という文に疑問代名詞が出るので、「か」が付かないんです。疑問代名詞が出る文では、最後に「だ（？）」を付けることができますが、「飲みたい」は形容詞のようなものなので、そのままでは「だ」ももちろん付きません。ですが、「飲みたいのは、何だ？」という文は、一応作れます。参考にしたのは「日本語文法ハンドブック」という、日本語教師のための本です。

Watching this video makes me wonder about your teaching methods when you conduct your English classes in Japan. Given their quiet reputation, I wonder if you're able to get many students to raise their hands during class...lol

I have seen verbs used in the て form then having なの added, is this correct too?

Does ending particle ね is for females and な is for males? Like mata ne and mata na. Is it ok to use な in formal conversation?

Can you explain me the difference between particles でしょう、ね、よね?

The ones I use a lot are 「か」「だ」「だぞ」「だぜ」「だろ」「だな」「かな」「さ」「ぜ」「ぞ」
